ya better duck n cover zippy.... the poodoo has hit the fan... its being picked up... its gaining momentum...
Good Job!
You forgot A MAJOR barf alert. I’m so glad months/yrs go by with out me visiting there. They are still delusional. They actually believe the peace shirt sign is not offensive to Vietnam Viets, who were spit on by the people who wore the shirts. They truly believe it’s about skin color. :-p I They can’t analyze, let alone write a thread without the fbomb.(parry’s kos style) They are SO COOL and enlightened. One of the posters on kos sounded just like a peace sign defender last night on FR. I’m sure it was a coincidence, it was almost word for word what was written on FR.
I’m sure he/she is busy kissing the Obama’s butt somewhere.
I warned him several hundred posts ago, he should shut up. But his ego is too big. I just wanted FR to be able to say he was warned.
Irony...... the biggest defender.
D’oh!

For god’s sake, people, move to Canada. (4.00 / 7)
I’m a fairly recent immigrant to Canada, and here’s my story:
I chipped my tooth shortly after moving to the US five years ago. Couldn’t afford to get it fixed at the time, so I figured I’d just brush brush brush and it’d maintain the status quo for a while... but it didn’t. The tooth got infected, soon started going black, and I just didn’t have the money to get a root canal and have it fixed.
Soon the headaches started as the infection would begin traveling. My immune system would fight it off, but I was in an industry with no union, and the money I was making was not great. Working for the love does not do much good for your health in the US.
Anyway, I started doing things like eating heavily salted foods, because that would kill infections for a while, and eating on the right hand side of my mouth to keep the irritation down. And of course, during sleep, I would grind the sore part of my teeth.
Eventually my jaw began to misalign. And then my wisdom teeth started to kick in. So I did all I could to finally fix the situation... I moved to Canada.
Now, the Canadian health system doesn’t give you free dental, but dental is a lot cheaper here, so I could get the small stuff seen to. And what’s more, there are unions here, so when I got a job, I also got dental coverage. Dental coverage that includes pre-existing conditions, and covers 100% of the cost. No deductibles!
Over the last two months, I’ve visited the dentist eight times, received one root canal, five fillings, crowns, I’ve had my mercury amalgam fillings replaced with white ceramic fillings (again, no expense to me), got a grind-guard and the wisdom teeth come out next week.
In that time, my wife got pregnant, and everything was covered by the national health insurance system, from private room to pre-natal massage to home visits by a nurse after the fact to ensure everything is great with the kid.
I also chipped my ankle playing softball - again, covered, from emergency room care to follow-up physio - all covered.
People. I beseech you. Please move north. For the sake of your health, for the sake of your children. It cost me $2000 to get residency. It took me four months. And I tell you now, I’ll never leave.
Fool me once, I’ll punch you in the fucking head.

Nice. (none / 1)
You think I’m over-privileged? Did you not read how I didn’t visit the dentist because I had no money?
But I did, on the other hand, have five years to scrape together a few pennies at a time, borrow a little from friends and family, sell a car, put all my belongings on eBay and convince some company that should have known better to give me a credit card.
I didn’t find two grand behind the couch. I made it happen. I suggest, rather than bitching about how you’re stuck, you find a way to unstick yourself.
Fool me once, I’ll punch you in the fucking head.

What a rube. (none / 0)
Uh-huh... selling my stuff on eBay means I’m a thief. Gotcha. Hilarious logic there.
I paid off my credit cards with the better paid job I got in Canada. I was unemployed for exactly three days after getting my residency. I pay my taxes (which are lower than they were in the US, by the way). I’m raising a family. I’m a model citizen.
And just so you know, if you APPLY FOR RESIDENCY in a new country they WANT YOU TO WORK. They make you a resident if they can see you WILL work.
It’s how you end up being a productive member of society, jackass.
Did I lie to a credit card company to get the means to move? Absolutely. Did I pay every cent back regardless, as anyone else would? Absolutely.
But you? All you do is sit back and say “woe is me, things should change,” without ever taking responsibility for changing your own situation.
You want to fight for a better America? How you going to do it? By voting? Well guess what - I still vote in American elections. I’m doing the exact same thing you are to help make things better - only my kid has free health care while I do it.
Enjoy your teeth, Jethro.
Fool me once, I’ll punch you in the fucking head.

The Republicans did not "lose" New Orlerans. The throbbingly badly run CITY, the somnambulant COUNTY, and the democrat shill STATE failed the city before FEMA got there. That's how it goes here, Mr. Parry - city - county - state - THEN the feds.
maybe in canada their feds can invade when the state officials deny permission - don't work like that here - well maybe it does under obama
Hasn’t got the guts to post now. Last night “saquin” was the high horse “toast of the town.”
What a joke. hey saquin, we hardly knew ye.
Wow! Great investigative FReeping!
I don’t suppose you have any interest in all the members here who made it very clear that Obama’s children should be off limits and are not responsible for their dad’s policies.
Also do you bother asking how long it usually takes a thread or offensive comment to be pulled? Or did you check to see how many here do not tolerate racist comments and bring them to the attention of the moderators?
The moderators have a herculean task to go through all the posts to check for offensive content. But they do a very good job at it, even if it does not always happen instantly.
And you may not be aware of it but the mods do send private messages to those who post offensive crap and give them a warning that continued violation of Free Republic policy will result in being banned. So you don’t have any idea if those who posted the crap were just ignored. You like to give the impression they are tolerated and even encouraged by the Moderators and Administration of this site, but that is not true.
I don’t believe there is every any excuse for racist attacks or attacks against children and if I ever thought this was business as usual on Free Republic I would say so and leave the site without hesitation. But I assure you such things are an anomoly and in no way reflect the values of the majority of conservatives.
If discovery were performed would the Vancouver Sun be able to produce an IP log showing you researched the thread on FR before the thread was pulled?
I wonder how many Marines (who he hates) it would take to kick his *ss. Maybe one while doing one handed push ups.
there ain’t nothin like a leech.
He could scrape together 2K to go to canada, but not to care for his teeth. Fixing the tooth when it happened would not have cost 2K.
Thanks! Being an AT&T stockholder also helps.
Having the full weight of the United States under one's command means unlimited use of the world's very best computer geeks, document forgers, and any other means of truth suppression.
Of course, in the liberal alternate reality, they use any means possible to obtain their objectives. They’ll be thrown under the bus at some point, and it will be interesting to see if they get it then.
I rather doubt they are even capable of getting it. They have spent so much time and effort lying to themselves and others that their ability to discern reality is totally shot.
As they will be...
Thanks!
